Guidance for Supporting Facades on Steel Framed Buildings

The attachments of modern facade systems to the primary building structure can present some of the most difficult challenges on any building. It involves a number of different parties—the owner, the architect, the structural engineer, the building envelope consultant, and many different contractors—coming together to create a facade that achieves aesthetic, thermal, air infiltration, and moisture objectives. This course will provide guidance for practicing structural engineers, architects, and contractors on how to navigate this aspect of a building’s design that is vitally important but often given less attention than it deserves.
